Andiron Steak & Sea... Well where do we start? Located in Downtown Summerlin is where you can find this place right across the street from the Lazy Dog restaurant. It's always nice to finally check off one of the many bookmarks on your YELP and Andiron has been on my list for quite sometime.
One of my friends wanted to treat me for a happy belated birthday brunch and let me pick the place. I have been in the mood lately for bottomless mimosas and a good breakfast so I thought to myself why not? I placed a reservation on OpenTable to ensure we would get seated in a good amount of time as I had already knew that they can get pretty busy. I received an e-mail from OpenTable after leaving stating that they marked me as a "No-Show" which was insane causing me to have to e-mail them back to prove I actually was there but I'll digress.... Anyways, when I arrived I couldn't help but notice how nice and clean everything looked! This place has great décor and I'm guessing on Sunday's a live DJ.
Prior to even visiting on this particular morning I had decided to look at the menu and get a feel for what I would wanted once I arrived. One thing for sure was that we definitely wanted our bottomless mimosas while waiting for the food! They offer a grapefruit sage that I'd be eyeing and my friend went with a traditional one. Our order consisted of:
Avocado Toast ($10)- Tomato, Pickled Fresno Chile, Arugula grilled on wheat bread.
Chilaquiles ($19) Pulled Chicken, Avocado Cream, Queso Fresco, Sunny Side Egg.
"The Benedict" ($16)- English Muffin, Poached Eggs, Spinach Shaved Porchetta, Breakfast Potatoes, Béarnaise
Overall the entire meal was very underwhelming and I can honestly say that it was just "meh" for what the prices are. I really had high hopes for this place but the glitz and glamour doesn't match the food quality I just really thought I'd be amazed. My friend also chimed in and told me that her Chilaquiles was not up to par.. With my eggs benedict they offered an option of upgrading it with Smoked Salmon for $7 extra or Butter Poached Lobster for $10. I went with the salmon because that's my favorite and I've had this same dish at other places countless times and paid way less for a better taste. My English muffin was burnt a bit underneath and the other one wasn't toasted enough. I didn't want to look ungrateful to my friend so I didn't want to send anything back but sheesh that was not a well spent $100 brunch. We have no problem paying for great food and there wasn't anything great about it.. Not quite sure I will return...
